Currently, Discourse rate limits all incoming requests by the IP address they
originate from regardless of the user making the request. This can be
frustrating if there are multiple users using Discourse simultaneously while
sharing the same IP address (e.g. employees in an office).
This commit implements a new feature to make Discourse apply rate limits by
user id rather than IP address for users at or higher than the configured trust
level (1 is the default).
For example, let's say a Discourse instance is configured to allow 200 requests
per minute per IP address, and we have 10 users at trust level 4 using
Discourse simultaneously from the same IP address. Before this feature, the 10
users could only make a total of 200 requests per minute before they got rate
limited. But with the new feature, each user is allowed to make 200 requests
per minute because the rate limits are applied on user id rather than the IP
address.
The minimum trust level for applying user-id-based rate limits can be
configured by the `skip_per_ip_rate_limit_trust_level` global setting. The
default is 1, but it can be changed by either adding the
`DISCOURSE_SKIP_PER_IP_RATE_LIMIT_TRUST_LEVEL` environment variable with the
desired value to your `app.yml`, or changing the setting's value in the
`discourse.conf` file.
Requests made with API keys are still rate limited by IP address and the
relevant global settings that control API keys rate limits.
Before this commit, Discourse's auth cookie (`_t`) was simply a 32 characters
string that Discourse used to lookup the current user from the database and the
cookie contained no additional information about the user. However, we had to
change the cookie content in this commit so we could identify the user from the
cookie without making a database query before the rate limits logic and avoid
introducing a bottleneck on busy sites.
Besides the 32 characters auth token, the cookie now includes the user id,
trust level and the cookie's generation date, and we encrypt/sign the cookie to
prevent tampering.
Internal ticket number: t54739.
When dismissing new topics for the Tracked filter, the dismiss was
limited to 30 topics which is the default per page count for TopicQuery.
This happened even if you specified which topic IDs you were
selectively dismissing. This PR fixes that bug, and also moves
the per_page_count into a DEFAULT_PER_PAGE_COUNT for the TopicQuery
so it can be stubbed in tests.
Also moves the unused stub_const method into the spec helpers
for cases like this; it is much better to handle this in one place
with an ensure. In a follow up PR I will clean up other specs that
do the same thing and make them use stub_const.
Previously, any errors in those files would e.g. blow up the update process in docker_manager.
Now it prints out an error and proceeds as if there was no compatibility file.
Includes:
* DEV: Extract setup_git_repo
* DEV: Use `Dir.mktmpdir`
* DEV: Default to `main` branch (The latest versions of git already do this, so to avoid problems do this by default)
* Add uploads:sync_s3_acls rake task to ensure the ACLs in S3 are the correct (public-read or private) setting based on upload security
* Improved uploads:disable_secure_media to be more efficient and provide better messages to the user.
* Rename uploads:ensure_correct_acl task to uploads:secure_upload_analyse_and_update as it does more than check the ACL
* Many improvements to uploads:secure_upload_analyse_and_update
* Make sure that upload.access_control_post is unscoped so deleted posts are still fetched, because they still affect the security of the upload.
* Add escape hatch for capture_stdout in the form of RAILS_ENABLE_TEST_STDOUT. If provided the capture_stdout code will be ignored, so you can see the output if you need.
Basically, say you had already downloaded a certain image from a certain URL
using pull_hotlinked_images and the onebox. The upload would be stored
by its sha as an upload record. Whenever you linked to the same URL again
in a post (e.g. in our case an og:image on review.discourse) we would
would reuse the original upload record because of the sha1.
However when you turned on secure media this could cause problems as
the first post that uses that upload after secure media is enabled
will set the access control post for the upload to the new post.
Then if the post is deleted every single onebox/link to that same image
URL will fail forever with 403 as the secure-media-uploads URL fails
if the access control post has been deleted.
To fix this when cooking posts and pulling hotlinked images, we only
allow using an original upload by URL if its access control post
matches the current post, and if the original_sha1 is filled in,
meaning it was uploaded AFTER secure media was enabled. otherwise
we just redownload the media again to be safe, as the URL will always
be new then.
This feature adds the ability to define synonyms for tags, and the ability to merge one tag into another while keeping it as a synonym. For example, tags named "js" and "java-script" can be synonyms of "javascript". When searching and creating topics using synonyms, they will be mapped to the base tag.
Along with this change is a new UI found on each tag's page (for example, `/tags/javascript`) where more information about the tag can be shown. It will list the synonyms, which categories it's restricted to (if any), and which tag groups it belongs to (if tag group names are public on the `/tags` page by enabling the "tags listed by group" setting). Staff users will be able to manage tags in this UI, merge tags, and add/remove synonyms.
Previously people were not consistent about mocking which left internals in
a fragile state when running subfolder specs.
This introduces a simple helper `set_subfolder` which you can use to set
the subfolder for the spec. It takes care of proper configuration of subfolder
and teardown.
```
# usage
set_subfolder "/my_amazing_subfolder"
```
You should no longer stub base_uri or global_settings
This change both speeds up specs (less strings to allocate) and helps catch
cases where methods in Discourse are mutating inputs.
Overall we will be migrating everything to use #frozen_string_literal: true
it will take a while, but this is the first and safest move in this direction
Fixes two issues:
1. Redirecting to an external origin's path after login did not work
2. User would be erroneously redirected to the external origin after logout
https://meta.discourse.org/t/109755
It is not a setting, and only relevant in specs. The new API is:
```
Jobs.run_later! # jobs will be thrown on the queue
Jobs.run_immediately! # jobs will run right away, avoid the queue
```
Previously if you wanted to have jobs execute in test mode, you'd have
to do `SiteSetting.queue_jobs = false`, because the opposite of queue
is to execute.
I found this very confusing, so I created a test helper called
`run_jobs_synchronously!` which is much more clear about what it does.

Suggested messages works somewhat like suggested topics.
- New show up first (in either group inbox or inbox)
- Then unread (in either group inbox or inbox)
- Finally "related" which are messages with same participants as the current pm.
